How TigerGate Works

TigerGate is purpose-built for cloud-native workloads—from code to cloud to runtime—not endpoint security

1. Code & Container Security

Comprehensive SAST, SCA, secrets detection, IaC scanning, and container vulnerability scanning. Secure your code before it reaches production.

2. Cloud Security (CSPM)

576+ CIS benchmark checks across AWS, GCP, Azure, Oracle Cloud, and Kubernetes. Detect misconfigurations, compliance violations, and security risks.

3. Runtime Monitoring

eBPF-based runtime protection for cloud workloads. Monitor Kubernetes, containers, and VMs for zero-days, supply chain attacks, and insider threats.

The TigerGate Advantage

SentinelOne focuses on endpoint security (laptops, servers). TigerGate is purpose-built for modern cloud-native applications—from code to cloud to runtime. Different security problems require different solutions.

  • Cloud-native security vs endpoint protection
  • Comprehensive code security (SAST, SCA, secrets, IaC)
  • Superior CSPM with 576+ checks across 5 cloud providers
  • eBPF runtime monitoring for cloud workloads
  • Self-hosted deployment options
  • Transparent pricing at 10x lower cost

Why Teams Choose TigerGate Over SentinelOne

Purpose-built for cloud-native applications with comprehensive security coverage at transparent pricing

Complete Code Security

TigerGate includes SAST, SCA, secrets scanning, IaC security, and DAST—capabilities SentinelOne doesn't provide. Secure code before deployment.

SentinelOne: No code security features

Superior CSPM Coverage

576+ checks across AWS, GCP, Azure, Oracle Cloud, and Kubernetes. SentinelOne offers limited cloud security capabilities compared to TigerGate's comprehensive CSPM.

SentinelOne: Limited cloud coverage

eBPF Cloud Runtime Monitoring

Monitor cloud workloads with kernel-level visibility using eBPF. Detect zero-days, supply chain attacks, and threats in Kubernetes and containers.

SentinelOne: Endpoint-focused, not cloud workloads

10x More Affordable

Start at $499/month vs SentinelOne's $50K+ annual pricing. Get transparent, predictable pricing that scales with your team without complex licensing.

SentinelOne: Contact sales, complex pricing

Flexible Deployment

Deploy on your infrastructure, in your cloud, or use our managed SaaS. Full control over your security platform and data sovereignty.

SentinelOne: SaaS-only for cloud features

Cloud-Native Architecture

Built specifically for modern cloud applications—not adapted from endpoint security. Purpose-built for containers, Kubernetes, serverless, and microservices.

SentinelOne: Endpoint security first
"SentinelOne was great for our endpoints, but we needed cloud-native security for our Kubernetes apps. TigerGate gave us comprehensive CSPM, code scanning, and runtime monitoring built specifically for cloud workloads. Different problem, different solution—and at a fraction of SentinelOne's cloud pricing."

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about choosing TigerGate over SentinelOne

TigerGate and SentinelOne serve different security needs. SentinelOne is an endpoint security (EDR/XDR) platform for laptops and servers. TigerGate is purpose-built for cloud-native applications—providing CSPM, code security, runtime monitoring for containers/Kubernetes, and compliance automation. Many teams use SentinelOne for endpoints and TigerGate for cloud workloads.
TigerGate provides comprehensive CSPM with 576+ checks across AWS, GCP, Azure, Oracle Cloud, and Kubernetes—far more extensive than SentinelOne's limited cloud coverage. We also include SAST, SCA, secrets scanning, IaC security, DAST, API security testing, AI/LLM security, and eBPF-based runtime monitoring specifically designed for cloud workloads.
Yes, and more comprehensively for cloud workloads. TigerGate uses eBPF for kernel-level visibility into Kubernetes pods and containers, monitoring process execution, file access, network connections, and privilege escalations. We also provide 83+ CIS Kubernetes benchmark checks and container vulnerability scanning. This is purpose-built for cloud workloads, not adapted from endpoint security.
TigerGate starts at $499/month with transparent pricing vs SentinelOne's contact-sales model (typically $50K+ annually). We're open source with lower operational costs and serve the cloud-native market with predictable pricing. You get comprehensive cloud security without the enterprise sales overhead.
Yes. TigerGate includes comprehensive code security: SAST for vulnerability detection, SCA for dependency analysis, secrets scanning, IaC security (Terraform, CloudFormation, Kubernetes manifests), DAST for runtime testing, and AI/LLM security scanning. SentinelOne does not provide these code security capabilities.
Yes. TigerGate offers flexible deployment including self-hosted in your VPC or on-premise infrastructure. You get complete data sovereignty and control—critical for regulated industries. SentinelOne's cloud security features are primarily SaaS-only.
TigerGate supports SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, FedRAMP, NIST 800-53, NIST CSF, and 38+ frameworks total. We provide automated compliance evidence collection via eBPF runtime monitoring and integrate with Vanta and Drata for continuous compliance monitoring.
TigerGate uses eBPF for cloud workload monitoring (Kubernetes, containers, VMs) with <3% overhead and no kernel modules required. SentinelOne focuses on endpoint detection and response (EDR) for traditional servers and workstations. Both use runtime monitoring, but for different environments: TigerGate for cloud-native workloads, SentinelOne for endpoints.
